Trekking holidays in Africa
Geographically diverse, the African continent is home to amazing wildlife and an extraordinary variety of fascinating cultures, not to mention, fantastic trekking opportunities. Once known as the 'dark continent' on account of its uncharted territories and unidentified inhabitants, Africa held an irresistible attraction for 19th century explorers such as Livingstone, Speke, Burton, Baker and Mary Kingsley. Thanks to the efforts of these and other intrepid individuals, today's adventure traveller has a much clearer picture of what Africa holds in store. And yet, a great deal of the original mystique and allure remains intact! Almost 120 years since it was first climbed, Kilimanjaro, the continent's highest peak has become a popular objective for adventurous trekkers. Our brand new 12-day Kilimanjaro and Safari itinerary is an important development here, with its combination of classic trekking and world-class game viewing. Further north, our 10-day camel trekking adventure in the Libyan Sahara is another newcomer, promising winter sun and a whole lot more. Whether your taste is for desert sands or impenetrable jungle, for game-rich plains or for the high trails of one of its many mountainous regions, Africa has a wealth of adventure travel options for you.
